Our school is Title I and serves a rural, low socioeconomic population. Because they are disadvantaged, the focus of school is academic. They need more exposure to enrichment activities.
My students have incredible imaginations and a thirst for learning.
They thrive on hands-on activities and deserve these opportunities to learn.
My Project
Makerspaces provide materials and resources to foster learning through inquiry. Those materials can range from simple items like craft paper, makers/crayons, glue, modeling clay, and LEGO bricks, to more high-tech items like taking apart and restoring donated electronics, 3D printers, laser cutters, and screen printing.
"A makerspace is a destination where students can create, problem solve, and develop skills, talents, thinking, and mental rigor." Providing the space and the materials for project-based, independent, hands-on experience for students is the focus of this project.
Students will be able to have enrichment activities that are needed for a successful future!
